~Yanfang Tang (Western vs. Asian approaches to reading different poetry)


In 4 days we have covered 21 theorists... Wow.

Some of the concepts and vocabulary being taught on last friday i'm still getting my head around as the material is so many and new - I get it easily confused (i.e. Actor- Network theory..Tmesis)
...And it doesn't help if the theorists write in a way just to make everyone's lifes harder  to read and understand lol! :P Lecture 2 content is no where as deep as lecture 4 imo...

Have to catch up... >:l
